History

Janata Bank Limited was formed combining the then United Bank Limited and Union Bank Limited under the Bank Nationalisation Ordinance of 1972 (President's Order 26). The management of Janata Bank has been transferred to Janata Bank Limited after transforming the bank into a company following the existing company act under the Enterprise Growth and Bank Modernisation Project' (EGBMP) which has been taken in 2004-05 in order to reform the nationalised commercial banks. Janata Bank Limited has started its operation from November 15, 2007.
